The increase in solar PV capacity is set to more than double over the next five years, dominating the global growth of renewables. Low costs, faster permitting and broad social acceptance continue to drive the accelerating adoption of solar PV.
Solar inverters generally last 10–25 years depending on the type, environment, and quality of installation. Replacements are a normal and expected part of solar ownership, and planning ahead helps keep your system running efficiently for decades.
For most American households, cleaning solar panels twice a year is usually enough. A spring cleaning removes winter dirt and pollen buildup, while a fall rinse clears away summer dust and prepares the system for lower winter sun angles.
